See <a href="http://www.dtguilds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9981" rel="nofollow">Death and Taxes</a> as mentioned before in an (unpublished) comment.<br /><br />If you need to suggest that hardcore raiders need to be dishonest to achieve progression while a part of The PuG, maybe you should consider the reason for wanting to attract such a component to the guild.<br /><br />A bit off topic but I wonder how WotLK is doing in China. You can see a bit on the CN-Armory, but most English speakers who are knowledgeable don't bother to talk about it. How does it feel to encounter content that is obsolete before you have even had the chance to attempt it... at least according to the game design and its developers. Of course the players who went to Taiwan servers are not in the same situation, and the goals of the society and individuals might be different.Taemojitsuhttp://daughterofankh.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-83791032796729358822010-11-12T04:26:54.618+01:002010-11-12T04:26:54.618+01:00Similar to the subject of completing quest objecti...Similar to the subject of completing quest objectives without active participation:<br /><br />I feel I should mention something that I discovered in a LFD group before the patch that added the deserter debuff upon leaving a group.<br /><br />Simply, we engaged the final boss (I hit it a few times) and then I left group. I instantly queued up for another LFD and got in instantly as I was a tank. A few moments after we buffed up and said hello I recieved the emblems for killing the boss from the other group.<br /><br />I'm not sure if this information is useful anymore because I haven't had time to play at all since then.Kuckucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-3785454493159582532010-11-12T00:00:27.869+01:002010-11-12T00:00:27.869+01:00Is it necessarily an issue if the ten-strict guild...Is it necessarily an issue if the ten-strict guilds use voice communication for their raids?

You have access to the servers based on the software (EU or US version) of WoW. So if you move from US to EU, you will have to buy vanilla wow, tbc, wotlk and cataclysm all over again.<br /><br />2) You can't transfer from EU to US (and vice versa) your characters.

At least every older realm works like that. Lightenings Blade for instance exists in the US and the EU with different players on both realms. The choice of realm depends on the installed software, To migrate to an US realm you'd have to get your hands on the US software, wich will not work with your EU login code's ( tested aprox 6 months ago ) <br /><br />On a second note i'm not even sure if character migration to an US realm is allowed from EU realms you'd have to check on that aswell.Fexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686104124944234256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-38024540469017313602010-11-11T17:12:48.242+01:002010-11-11T17:12:48.242+01:00What about guild ranks to differentiate people of ...What about guild ranks to differentiate people of different guilds?

As I experienced, the "average" random-raid member is of nonexistent. I´ve quitted random raiding about 3 month ago, just because of that. I´ve had 5 "bad" raids in a row, where ~10/25 player took 0,5-0,7% of the raids incoming damage. Several members took up to 40% of the damage (different encounters), none of them a tank...<br /><br />I´ve started my statistic there. The M&S seem to have a pretty big amount in random raids ~55% (fellow serverinhabitants helped me with the statistics by logs, etc.). It´s a lot bigger than in the lfd or bg. That´s just because decent raider often have their fixed groups. Also the mass opportunity to fail by movement and sheer inexperience/ignorance is a lot more massiv than in lfd/bg. Running into a pure /2 raid is the best opportunity to run into a mass of (point of view focused on raids) M&S or newbs.<br /><br />The average rndm raid player doesn´t know the boss(tactics) and/or has no flask & bufffood and/or has not the patience to learn (criticism) and/or is not proper enchanted/gemmed.<br /><br />All this is prohibit by the PuG´s rules. So automatically every PuG´s member disregarded of the person´s personal performance is a better raidmember than the average rndm raider by meeting all requirements (well yes in theory but that´s safer than /2).Visalyarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-1367473228232497102010-11-11T13:08:47.451+01:002010-11-11T13:08:47.451+01:00Will these guilds HAVE to adhere to the no voice c...Will these guilds HAVE to adhere to the no voice communications rule?<br /><br />That seems an unfortunate case if it's true.Andruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265338942372933846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-33567613893555746012010-11-11T12:56:12.804+01:002010-11-11T12:56:12.804+01:00@Grim: I never claimed that.
